pthreads ?

Following some early post(s) in this newsgroup or somewhere else,
I once installed pthreads-win32 under cygwin in the following way
    - copy pthread.lib to /usr/local/lib/libpthread.a
      copy pthread.dll to /usr/local/bin
      copy pthread.h to /usr/local/include

However,  after some un-install, re-install and so on, gcc does not
use header files in /usr/local/include if I do not put
-I/usr/local/include in
the makefile. So now I install pthreads-win32 by
    - copy pthread.lib to /usr/local/lib/libpthread.a
      copy pthread.dll to /usr/local/bin
      rename /usr/include/pthread.h to pthread-old.h
      copy pthread.h to /usr/include

I have used pthread_cancel(), pthread_create(),
pthread_mutex_lock(), pthread_mutex_unlock(),
pthread_cond_signal() and pthread_cond_timedwait()
in my programs and they seem to work fine.
